GREAT BRITAIN, Queen Victoria, unofficial pattern crown, dated 1879, coronetted young head left, Three Graces reverse, by Donald R. Golder, proofs in 925 silver, copper and aluminium bronze. FDC. (120)
The 'Three Graces' design (personifying England, Ireland and Scotland) has provided one of the most popular coinage reverses. The original by William Wyon (1795-1851) was featured on the 1817 George III pattern crown and was the only time such a design has been used. These modern pieces (dated 1879) intend to show how a modified version of Wyon's configuration could have looked. Total mintage 800 sets.
